Complex#/

(::BigDecimal) -> ::Complex
(::Numeric) -> ::Complex
complex / numeric → new_complex

Returns the quotient of self and numeric:

Example
Complex.rect(2, 3)  / Complex.rect(2, 3)  # => (1+0i)
Complex.rect(900)   / Complex.rect(1)     # => (900+0i)
Complex.rect(-2, 9) / Complex.rect(-9, 2) # => ((36/85)-(77/85)*i)
Complex.rect(9, 8)  / 4                   # => ((9/4)+2i)
Complex.rect(20, 9) / 9.8                 # => (2.0408163265306123+0.9183673469387754i)
